VPNs are great for keeping your connection secure and your activity private, but they can also get in the way. From triggering captchas to making some webs

      Because that is how development works. You pick your biggest user base and if there is enough people from other groups then you develop it.

    This would be nice if they opened it up for other VPN’s too, so you can choose the interface that particular sites use directly from the browser.

      I would love to have one browser using my normal connection and a different one using a VPN.

      I imagine maybe it requires some more communication between the extension and the app, but I do believe the Multi-Account Container extension works with different VPNs, where it allows you to set a different proxy server per container.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don’t be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don’t post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don’t post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you’re concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don’t accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you’ve gotten yours.
